I would appreciate some help. Years ago, I abandoned liquid soap in favour of "real" soap and far prefer it - but what can I do to reduce the…

For those of you that manage to haul a huge amount of Easter chocolate... obviously you're going to eat some, but you can't eat too many right? What do you do with your leftover chocolate hauls? I bake myself a nice cake if i'm honest, the mix of chocolate brands tastes AMAZING! :p

Weekly Flylady Thread 26th March 2018
What is FLYLADY? Well, it's our version of the US flylady idea - but we work on the principle that housework is not fun, it's boring, can be time-consuming, is often thankless but, unfortunately, necessary. It's here on Old Style to provide the support we all need and to make the whole task easier and quicker. We also…

Washing Machine problems.
Yesterday my washing machine broke. I bought it second hand 15 years ago and I was expecting it to go anytime. I’m getting a new kitchen in the next few months and was planning to get a new machine then. But that didn’t work out. I decided to buy another cheap second hand one because the builders will be hauling it in and…

Cordless vs Corded Vacuum Cleaners
I've had a GTECH for the past two years and love the convenience of it, I also have the separate hand held cleaner. I keep thinking I couldn't deal with plugs and cords again but lately I've been thinking that my GTECH doesn't pick up as much as my old corded cleaner used to do. I also have to empty the pan all the time as…

Replacing a broken zip on a leather handbag.
I have a sturdy handbag I'd like to continue using, if it weren't for the fact the zip is bust (by that I mean the zip puller and slider have somehow become fully detached and lost, so I'm left with a gaping open handbag with 2 rows of teeth). There's plenty of life left in the bag itself, but I'm wondering whether it is…
